TF,
I struggle still almost 7 months since BD and telling S about separation. I found that getting an emotions chart with pictures can help with my S and cope with his feelings. He has so much anger towards W and I sometimes struggle in not showing my frustration towards her for putting him through this. Just be present with them...listen to them. Be the best dad you can be.

Your W sounds like mine did....all about her “happiness” and appearing clueless in thinking she’s doing any damage to s. She has said many times kids are resilient, it’s a fun adventure, etc. BS. He’s had 5 months of IC and he has regressed.

My S flew off the handle yesterday over something that was nonsense to stress about. Picked him up and hugged him for 15 min. Reassured him that I will always be there.

You are right...no child deserves this.
